I've been staying at Chestnut Hall since I move to Philly. Overall the experience is good here, the management office is friendly and fast response to all issues. And location is perfect since all necessary facilities (restaurants, groceries, USPS, UPS, cinema, etc ) you need are within 3 to 5 minutes walk from apartment, although you might need 15 min walk to Drexel campus.

Alternatively, the apartment itself might be a little bit outdated (interior looks like 1990's). But the price is truly attractive compared to those newly decorated apartments near campus(like 3737 chestnut or 3601 market).

Chestnut Hall is great! The heating is controlled by the landlord, so it can get incredibly warm in the winter time (I left my windows open it was so warm). Heating aside, it it a great place for UPenn students who want to live in a building that feels like an extension of campus. My studio was the perfect size, came with a range and fridge, and allowed adequate space to host dinner parties.

My apartment is a decent size, but the location is what makes the building worth the price. It is close to the law school but not right on top of it. Management are friendly, and the building is clean and feels safe. It is also close to a grocery store.

Chestnut Hall is okay. I like being within close walking distance to school. That said, the building is basically on the Penn Campus and the back side is above several undergraduate bars, which can be outrageously loud at night and on weekends.

Overall, I would recommend living in Center City. But if you want to live within close walking distance to school, this is an okay option.

The building is on the older side, but it is well maintained and very convenient for students and employees commuting to the University of Pennsylvania. The maintenance and any service requests are taken care of well and very promptly. Rooms may be smaller, but it is great for living alone

The best thing about Chestnut Hall is that the location is very convenient. It's pretty close to Drexel's campus and is close to the Fresh Grocer and lots of restaurants and bars. There are also lots of other students that live at Chestnut Hall. Management has been pretty responsive and easy to work with, but the building is on the older side and a little overpriced.

39th and chestnut is about a 15 minute walk from my office building, making it very simple to commute even in the worst of weather. The apartments themselves are roomy; they offer studios, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments. The kitchen is small, but functional. Mostly, the complex is very quiet and filled with graduate students/professional students from Penn

Good location, building was very expensive for how old it was. The stove and oven were very old. However the repair staff was always on point and fixed any issues within 1 day.

This place offers good living experience for students at University City. However, the apartment is old and not recommended for people looking for quality living experience.

The building is old and I've had mice problems
